view on Maldon and barges

Great ride & quite roads

Great service and quick! The hill back up is a wonderful! (Watch out if u have Angina!)

Lovely location, great Tea room and fantastic home-baked cakes

Very nice Tea room in lovely location. We enjoyed the drinks and fantastic home-made cakes. Recommended.

Excellent Tea Room overlooking the lock. Excellent cake and light snacks. Toilets.

Running through prom makes a nice stop on a route. It can be quite busy in the summer though.

Nice cafe for cake and coffee too.

Nice place to stop for a break with sea (well, estuary) views but be aware you can't ride your bike in the park proper.

Scenic traditional quay with the old sailing barges moored up alongside.

Scenic crossing point on the River Chelmer, after a nice twisting descent from Woodham Walter.

A picturesque lock on the River Chelmer and also the home to a tea room should you need a it stop. This is a round the halfway point on the River Chelmer's 14 miles journey from Chelmsford to the Heybridge Basin where it meets the sea. For more information please see the website www.papermilllock.co.uk

Right at the end of the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation sits Heybridge Basin. Home of the sea lock which releases the canal out to sea. The basin meant that sea vessels could enter the canal and travel all the way up to Chelmsford. There are two pubs here, the Jolly Sailor and the Old Ship, plus the Lock Tea Room if you are in need of a pitstop.

Set beyond weeping willows on the banks of the River Chelmer, this gorgeous cottage is a quintessential piece of english countryside.

We mainly know about the Battle of Maldon (991 AD) due to a surviving fragment of Anglo-Saxon epic poetry. It tells how Ealdorman Byrhtnoth allowed a Viking army to cross the causeway from Northey Island, where they had landed, in order to engage them in pitched battle. The Saxons were defeated and had to buy the Vikings off with a danegeld, the first time such a payment was made. http://www.battleofmaldon.org.uk/poem-0.html https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/episodes/319.mp3

Carpark now charge

Cycle path along the river bank - not that wide but also not too busy even on a Sunday.

Great place to stop for a snack.

Nice place to visit and spend some time.

Free car park at Heybridge Basin along with two pubs and a cafe for refreshments after your ride.
